Planes were lost in WWII and never located, especially in the far north.

Melting glaciers in Canada and Scandinavia have produced treasure troves of finds for archaeologists,

I'm not surprised this was a hoax, they skipped all sorts of information about the origin of the plane, when and under what conditions it went missing, and the status of the crew and launched right into that stupid ghost story. "Clang, clang, clang!" went my own BS detector. Even a partial number on fuselage or tail would have helped the verisimilitude a bit, but I guess they were too dumb to think of that.
